I was shocked with how much abuse that girl had to put up with from her Niang, which is another word for mother. It was good that finally her parents had started to neglect her less and apreciate her sklls and knowledge more as her parents were in need. I felt that it was interesting becuase they included a lot of 20th century history in China as the years went on. adelines family, were obviously very wealthy and had never really found it ahrd to manage through those tough times.
